The falling plums are as messy as snow, and the whole body is full after brushing——Kaihua Zhidong axis evaluation experience

Hello everyone, I am Taotie

Due to the skyrocketing types of mechanical keyboard switches, the original four King Kongs of black, red, tea, and blue can no longer meet people's needs for the naming of switch categories. The new feel and new color scheme naturally require a name that better fits the theme and highlights the appearance and artistic conception of the shaft.

Among them, there are those named after food, such as ice cream axis, kiwi fruit axis, and ginger milk axis; those named after animals, such as tiger axis, lynx axis, and holy panda axis; those named by color, such as Tiffany axis, orange axis, Water moon axis and so on. However, among them, I think the one that is most consistent with and close to the four systematic naming of black, red, tea, and green is Kaihua's four seasons axis, which represent the four seasons of "spring, summer, autumn, and winter" respectively.

I have tested Kaihua's Zhixia switch before, a strong mechanical switch body, both the feel and the sound are quite excellent, crisp and silky. And recently, Kaihua took advantage of the tail of winter to bring players a brand new axis of the Four Seasons series—— Zhidong axis 。

Let's take a look at the specific performance of this shaft.

The appearance of this Zhidong switch is quite excellent. The white + blue color scheme makes players feel the winter scenery of ice and snow, which fits the theme.

In terms of appearance, the shaft body is still Kaihua’s classic BOX structure, which is dustproof and waterproof.

The bottom of the shaft body is a five-legged structure, which is more stable to assemble and more conducive to the use of steelless PCB.

It is worth mentioning that this Zhidong axis has added a light guide column at the position of the LED light hole, which is beneficial to the SMD lamp to guide the light out, and the RGB party is ecstatic.

Both the shaft core and the base are made of POM material, while the upper cover is made of PC material, which is solid.

Let me talk about the specific parameters of this Kaihua Zhidong axis first:

Initial pressure: 40gf

Conduction pressure: 38±10gf

Bottom pressure: 52±5gf

Total stroke: 3.6±0.3mm

Conduction stroke: 2.0±0.2mm

Shaft Type: Advance Paragraph Shaft

It can be seen from the parameters that this Zhidong switch is an advanced step switch, which has a more obvious step feeling, the initial and conduction feel is lighter, and the long-term tapping is not tiring. After disassembly, you can see the internal structure of the shaft body. Since it is an advanced shaft, the position of the shaft core has a slight change.

In order to improve the feel, the spring is changed to a 20mm extended version. The Q spring is powerful when pressed, and the rebound is also very handy, with a strong sense of rhythm.

Coupled with the unique smoothness and directness of the BOX axis, it really has a special flavor. Of course, in terms of stability, the BOX structure has always performed well, belonging to the first echelon level.

In today's era when the linear axis is dominant, the change in feel brought about by the advance of the paragraph axis really has an unexpected sense of freshness.

It's like drinking bitter coffee and suddenly taking a sip of tomato juice, the impact on the taste buds is unforgettable for a long time.

In the end, it is the actual percussion sound test to feel the performance of this Zhidong switch.

It can be seen that Kaihua’s Zhidong switch is impeccable in terms of appearance and feel, at least in my eyes. After all, interesting switches are like interesting souls, which are always hard to come by. beg.

Then if you like the feel of the early stage and just want to experience the peculiarity of the BOX switch, this Kaihua Zhidong switch will definitely be your best choice.
